IRISH COBBLER 
SWEET POTATO 
TOBACCO 
CULTURE—Sow in February and March in a 
rich and perfectly clean bed, from which all seeds 
and insects have been destroyed by burning. Pro¬ 
tect from flies with plant bed cloth and trans¬ 
plant about June to highly fertilized soil, 3% to 
4 feet each way. Cultivate thoroughly and guard 
well against suckers and worms. 
Price of all Varieties: Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; % lb. 
$1.25; postpaid. 
SWEET, OR LITTLE ORONOKO—This is a 
very superior Oronoko Tobacoo; the leaf is long, 
with a good breadth; has a small stem and very 
fine texture; used for first-class plug fillers, and 
makes, when sun-cured, the best natural chewing 
leaf on account of its sweetness. It is a general 
favorite for the “Home-Spun” wherever known, 
especially liked by some for its earliness and ability 
to stand upon the hill for some time without be¬ 
coming over-ripe. In all respects an ideal manu¬ 
facturing tobacco. 
BIG ORONOKO—The leaf is large, broad, of 
handsome appearance, cures well and possesses a 
great deal of weight and body. For strips and 
dark wrappers it has no superior. 
LIZARD TAIL ORONOKO—This is said to be 
the heaviest of the Oronokos. It has a large num¬ 
ber of leaves to the plant which are of good width 
and length. It is a hardy grower and of good 
quality, is best adapted to rich clay or dark loam 
soils. Is quite popular in the dark-fired district 
for producing wrappers of that type and probably 
has no superior for that purpose. 
IRISH POTATOES 
IRISH COBBLER—Virginia Grown, Selected; Maine Grown, 
Selected. 
CHIPPEWA —A new variety that after extensive tests on 
Long Island and New Jersey has proven to be the out¬ 
standing medium early variety in cultivation. It is a 
heavy yielder, of medium size, very uniform, round to 
oblong, somewhat flattened, eyes shallow, skin of smooth, 
clean white. The much branched vines are vigorous; the 
leaves broad, dark green, and highly resistant to mosaic. 
Its cooking qualities are all that can be desired. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN —A well-known, large, handsome, pure 
white Potato, for main or late crop; a prolific yielder and 
invariably of fine table quality, cooking dry and mealy. A 
standard variety for late crop; matures about 2 weeks 
later than the Irish Cobbler. Ask for price in season. 
IMPROVED PEACH BLOW— This well-known variety is 
the hardiest, largest yielding and best keeping variety of 
any Potato grown in this section. They should not be 
planted before June 15th. Ask for price in season. 
COLD-STORAGE POTATOES— We will have a nice stock 
of the leading varieties kept in cold storage for late 
planting from June to August. Ask for prices in season. 
SWEET POTATOES 
PRICES ON APPLICATION 
CULTURE —These should be planted in hotbeds in April 
and kept well watered. As soon as the plants are ready 
and danger of frost is past in May or June, they should 
be transplanted to rows 3 feet apart, setting the plants 
16 inches apart in the row. 
Seed Sweet Potatoes are very perishable and will not 
keep long after being taken out of storage, especially in 
damp or rainy weather. For this reason we cannot carry 
them in stock for any length of time, but get them in 
from day to day. We ship only good, sound Potatoes, in 
firm condition, but we cannot guarantee safe arrival of 
anything so perishable, though we are very careful in 
packing and shipping them. 
PORTO RICO, OR CUBAN YAM —This Potato has been 
grown extensively in the South for many years, and was 
introduced by us into this section some years ago. It has 
golden yellow flesh with pinkish skin, and is the largest 
yielding potato we know of. It is also by far the best 
keeping potato known. 
HANOVER YELLOW —The leading Yellow Potato in Han¬ 
over County, which is noted for its excellent Sweet Po¬ 
tatoes. It has a rich yellow color and cooks dry and 
sweet. 
PUMPKIN YAM, OR NANCY HALL— Has yellow flesh 
hence its name, Pumpkin Yam. It cooks soft, juicy and 
sweet, yields well and keeps well.
